Crux is the capital platform for the clean economy. We modernize capital raising and deployment for clean energy and critical infrastructure with solutions across advisory, investments, technology, and intelligence. Our team is composed of experts in energy, tax, finance, government, and technology. We have raised $77 million in capital from some of the best investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Lowercarbon Capital, New System Ventures, Overture, Ardent Venture Partners, QED, Canapi, and others. These funds are joined by strategic investors including Pattern Energy, Clearway Energy, EDF Renewables, Intersect Power, LS Power, Orsted, Hartree Partners, Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, and OMERS Ventures. ### An inflection point in American energy and manufacturing. Energy demand is growing for the first time in decades, driving an urgent need for more affordable and reliable electricity. More electricity requires new clean energy infrastructure and strong domestic supply chains for minerals and components — as well as large amounts of capital. Traditional project finance is opaque, fragmented, and analog. At Crux, we’re changing that. Through unmatched insights and expertise, white-glove service, purpose-built tools, and risk underwriting, we power a more prosperous, clean, and secure energy future. We are scaling quickly and looking for team members who are eager to combine deep expertise with an AI- and tech-forward mindset. ### The opportunity We're seeking an experienced Sr. Director of Partnerships to own and scale Crux's partnerships program across channel/referral, product-enabled, and research & IP motions. This leader will manage the full lifecycle of our most important institutional partner relationships (Big 4 and midmarket accounting firms, AmLaw law firms, insurance brokers, trade associations, EPCs, independent engineers, and financial intermediaries) while building the operational infrastructure to make those relationships scalable and measurable. Crux's partnerships function has grown from early relationship-driven motions into a structured program with real commercial velocity. This role will take what's working and build it into a repeatable, tiered engine — while also driving platform adoption so that partner firms use Crux directly for deal diligence and document finalization. You'll lead a team of four direct reports, with plans to grow, and orchestrate extensively across commercial, research, events, content, product, legal, and operations. This is a high impact leadership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of enterprise relationship management, program architecture, and commercial strategy in a fast-growing company operating at the frontier of climate finance. ### Key responsibilities ### Partnership program architecture & scaling Own and evolve Crux's partnership program across three motions: channel/referral, product-enabled (legal intelligence, platform integrations), and research & IP (co-authored research, benchmarking, standardized documentation) Build tiered partner frameworks with clear activation criteria, enablement programs, co-sell motions, and performance metrics for each tier and persona In partnership with Operations, operationalize partner management in HubSpot and internal systems, building the infrastructure to track referrals, attribution, partner health, and ROI ### Partner acquisition & portfolio expansion Build and run a repeatable partner acquisition program to systematically expand the partner portfolio — identifying, qualifying, and activating target and emerging partner personas Develop standardized outreach, qualification criteria, and onboarding motions so new partners ramp to active referral status quickly Maintain a portfolio view of all partnerships — knowing when to double down, restructure, or exit ### Enterprise relationship management Manage and deepen relationships with institutional partners including Big 4 firms, AmLaw law firms, insurance brokers, and trade associations --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
